@fmf saidI have a circulation problem (Raynaud's phenomenon) which only really becomes a issue in the winter months. For most people with this condition it is the cold that triggers their symptoms (cold hands, chilblains etc) but for me it is the central heating and the sudden change of temperature when I go indoors that is the trigger.

What other things do you supose might well be true about only approximately 7,000 British people?
As a result, I am often found sitting 'outside' coffee shops even when it is snowing (while all other sensible customers are sitting inside in the warm). I am usually only accompanied by the most hardy of smokers, which leads me to suspect that I am among the 7,000 British people who sit outside in the snow to drink their cappuccino.

@fmf saidApproximately 7,000 people spell "suppose" with a single 'p'. 😉

@fmf saidThat's because a black and white television licence costs less than a colour licence. I think that there are far more than 7,000 people in Britain who don't mind saving money by sacrificing a feature that is unimportant to them for a small saving. Besides, some types of colour blindness are so profound that there really isn't any point in a "sufferer" having a colour television.

@fmf saidSo these are the wealthy people managing to save £100 a year on a TV licence!

These are therefor the 7,000+ who enjoy spending their free time messing up the kitchen table with a screw driver, penknife, digital multimeter, soldering iron and circuit wire.

Let’s just hope that you are never afflicted with a medical condition.
@drewnogal saidWho says I'm not? Just because I don't whine on here about medical conditions doesn't mean I don't have any! 😛 😉

Did you ever stop a second to consider that?
How odd do you think he must look to others sitting outside in the snow?

@badradger saidYou can call it being a hardy breed, to others it may look a different way! 😉
